Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land urges registered voters to take part in Michigan’s general election on Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Why not take some time to remind staff and students who are new voters that in order to satisfy the state’s voter ID requirement, residents should bring a driver’s license or other acceptable picture ID to the polls?  Those without proper ID may still vote by signing an affidavit. 

Voters with disabilities have the option of using AutoMARK accessible voting equipment, which is available at every polling place in the state.

In addition, the Michigan Department of State has other materials available to help you inform your community’s voters, including:

• A column on “An Election for the Ages” by Secretary Land
• “Election Essentials” and “Absentee Voting” fact sheets
• The text of the two statewide ballot proposals
• Voter registration/turnout statistics from past elections in Michigan
• Election-related photos

Contact Mike Doyle, Communications Representative at 517.373.2520 or doylem@michigan.gov for more information.
